I don't think DirectX games or anything that requires the lastest video
cards and stuff will work. I've yet to get Deltaforce Landwarrior
running on it. Pretty much any office or productivity app seems  to
work, albiet a little slowly. You will get okay performance if you use a
virtual disk. If you can use a physical partition for windows, you
should get performance near native speeds.
